SAS stands for Statistical Analysis Software or Statistical Analytical System. It is developed in the early 1970’s at North Carolina State University.This Software is originally intended for management and analysis of agricultural field experiments.Now a days it is a most widely software in the market.SAS Software is developed by SAS Institute.SAS Software will solve real-world problems like frauds in Financial Services ,life Sciences,Retail,Industry and cross-functional Solutions.SAS recgnizes these problems using a foundation based on Three key capabilities – Information Management,Analytics and Business intelligence.
About Founders of SAS Institute and History of SAS :
Jim Gudnight is CEO(Cheaf Executive Officer) and founder of the SAS Institute.Actually SAS was conceived by Anthony J.Barr in the year of 1966. J.Barr is a graduate student from North Carolina State University.Gim goodnight developed a “Multiple Regression program”. Barr had created an Analysis of Variance,inspired by Maurice Kendall.then these two programmers collaborated in 1968 year and developed a SAS Program. After some years Sall ,Helwig programmers also joined in 1976 year for the development of SAS Program.Finally in 1976 year SAS Institute was incorporated by Barr,Goodnight,Sall,Helwig.
SAS will be install in below Operating Systems :
We can install in Windows,Unix and SAS 9.2 version will install in McTosh operating system.
Products of SAS:
SAS/STAT
SAS/GRAPH
SAS/ACCESS
Running A SAS Program:
We can invoke SAS in the following ways:
• Interactive Windowing mode(SAS Windowing Environment)
• Interactive menu driven mode(SAS Enterprise guide)
• Batch execution
• Non interactive execution
A SAS Software has four important and major steps:
• 1.First is the DATA step
• 2.Procedure steps(Proc Step)
• 3.A Macro language step,Meta Programing language step
• 4.Output Step
More Information About SAS:
SAS has many business solutions like-IT Management,Human Resources Management,Financial Management,Business intelligence,Customer relationship Management(CRM=Cloud Computing).It can also perform Information retrieval and Data Management.It will give also Report writing and Graphics.and perform Statistical Analysis,Econometrics ,Data Mining,Business Planning,Forecasting,Decision Support,Operation Research and Project Management,Quality Improvement,Applications Development,Data warehousing,Platform independent and Remote Computing.
